SHOPPERS at Morpeth’s Sanderson Arcade are being invited to join a charity fundraising bike marathon this weekend.

Five spinning bikes will be set up in the arcade’s piazza area from 10am on Saturday with cyclists working in relay to cover 600 miles in six hours, the distance from Morpeth to London’s Olympic Park and back.

The event will raise funds for the arcade’s chosen charity for 2013, the Sick Children’s Trust. Staff from women-only gym Energie will lead the biking challenge, with other shop workers and shoppers invited to join in.
